These soft colors and a beautiful layout brought this to the top of our list.
The sentiment stamped on the vellum and fussy cut added that extra punch
without taking away from this elegant clean and simple card.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all that have played along with our new challenge this year. Look forward to having lots of fun again in 2017!
January's challenge starts in a few days. See you on January 2nd!

We're over half way through December, so just a reminder of our challenge this month is Watercolour Resist.

Here's a short description of this fun technqiue.

First create a resist on your card base. A resist can be made in many different ways: heat embossing, translucent pastes or gels, versamark, acrylic paints, etc. Any product or technique that creates a surface that is resistant to colour. Then add watercolouring over top. Any type of watercolour medium is welcome (watercolour paints, distress inks, sprays, etc.). Make sure to leave some open space on your card with limited embellishments and layers, to create a Clean and Simple design.

We're mixing it up a bit by including a technique this month. Please create a CAS Watercoloured card that includes the Watercolour Resist technique.

Not familiar with this technique?? Here's a short description or check out the details on the Design Team cards for ideas.
